Equipment
- Mixing Bowl
- Oven
- Baking Sheet
Ingredients
- 1 cup cashew butter
- 1 egg
- 2/3 cup allulose
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 cup sugar-free candy buttons
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180C/350F. This is essential to ensure that your cookies bake evenly and become perfectly golden.
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside. This will prevent the cookies from sticking and make cleanup a breeze.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine cashew butter, egg, allulose, and baking soda. Mix well until everything is fully incorporated; the mixture should be smooth and creamy.
- Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in the sugar-free candy buttons. Be careful not to overmix; you want the candy to remain intact for that fun texture.
- Cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes. This helps the flavors meld and makes the dough easier to work with.
- After refrigerating, remove the bowl from the fridge. With clean hands, form 12 balls of dough. The dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.
- Place the dough balls on the lined baking sheet about 1 to 2 inches apart. This spacing ensures that the cookies have room to spread while baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until the edges just begin to turn golden. Keep an eye on them; they can go from perfect to overbaked quickly!
- Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. This step is crucial for achieving the right texture.
Notes
- Experiment with Flavors: Feel free to incorporate different flavorings, such as spices or extracts, that complement the cookie.
- Watch Out for Overbaking: Keep an eye on the cookies as they bake to ensure they don’t become too hard.
- Proper Storage: Ensure the cookies are completely cool before storing to prevent moisture buildup.
- Customize Size: Adjust the size of the dough balls depending on how big you want your cookies.
- Pairing Ideas: Serve with a cup of tea or coffee for a delightful dessert experience.
